Biggest opportunity: Swap “upload files” for “extract”. “upload files” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “extract” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →7.8%
of downloads still active
At least 200K of 2.6M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “upload files” for “extract”. “upload files” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “extract” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “upload files”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I gave this plugin a try (it was included as Pro-Version in my hosting). You have many options to add/remove folders. move files and so on.The screen design and handling is really good. You have the option to create roles restrictions (which takes quite some time). What I don’t like When a hacker finds a way inside wp-admin you are completely lost. Through this plugin a hacker can put on any path of the wp installation malicious code and files. This plugin is not limited to the upload folder, it can access any part. When it comes to daily work it is not that practical. During the daily work (like creating page or post), you cannot select in which folder the picture should be uploaded. You have to upload and later go inside the plugin settings and move the file to the right folder. My Summary It has a good set of functionality and options to use. But I don’t like the security concerns and the not so practical handling.Deinstalled and used another plugin.
